I'm using Emacs 26.3. How do I set-input-method to latin-alt-postfix at the top of the buffer using the -*- ... -*- local-variables method? There are only certain files that I want to do this for.

I looked in the manual and wiki, but the instructions are not clear to me.

You can use the eval pseudo-variable to evaluate arbitrary code (which is dangerous, so be careful about accepting such files from others). See the description of specifying file variables in the manual: C-h i g(emacs)Specifying file variables.

Here's an example:

-*- eval: (set-input-method 'latin-alt-postfix) -*-

This is a test á á é ö etc.
